Work makes you Happy!

Happiness study finds close link between job and satisfaction with life

Many of us spend more than half our lives in the office, so it is little wonder that what we do during working hours has an impact on how satisfied we feel with life. But not only the type of job we do and the position we hold, but even things like the size of our organisation may have an influence.

Beaton Consulting, Australia’s leading consultants to the professions, in collaboration with numerous professional associations, conducted the first study into approaches to happiness among business people in Australia.

Whilst much has been publicised about how unhappy lawyers are, much less is known about other professions. The happiness study sought to quantify the claims about lawyers and reference approaches to happiness and general life satisfaction among other professionals and the business community generally.
